He is contemplating suicide.

Sorry, the rule is that

if a backward caste student scores...

enough to compete

in the open category...

then he gets

admission through that category.

Even if that means a

wasted seat in the reserved category?

Those are the rules.

I can do nothing about them.

Sir, his father is

a janitor in our college.

He has studied

against very difficult odds.

I do understand...

but this is the system.

To hell with the system, sir!

What?

Nothing.

Thank you.

See, don't lose heart.

Apply to the

padmavati institute of engineering.

Sir, but the fees...

are 500,000 rupees.

Payable in advance.

Even my retirement fund...

don't worry.

Just apply.

You will get a scholarship.

I... i will personally recommend your case

to the dwarka das foundation.

Sir...

don't do that, please...

you are god for us.

Sushant?

Son, what have you done?

You've changed your stream once again?

Dad, how does it matter?

I want to go to jamia university.

I have already appeared for

the entrance test.

And you think

you will get admission there?

Of course, dad.

Listen, forget about jamia

and study commerce.

It's business that is -

dad, i don't want business.

I want to do mass comm,

and that's it!

In that case,

you can forget about jamia.

This is their admission list...

and your name doesn't feature in it.

And, you thought admission

would be easy there?

But dad, i put in a lot of effort.

Even the personal interview went well.

Son, you can forget about

government-supported institutes.

Reservations reign supreme over there.

Let's make it quick.

I've three more lectures to go.

You're late again!

Sharma sir gave notes on quantum today.

Check the sachchar and sachchar text.

They have the best notes on quantum.

What's wrong?

Here, you take half.

Why are you letting go even 50%?

Why don't you people

keep it all? 100%.

What did you say?

You heard me.

Finally, the historic ruling that everyone

was impatiently waiting for has been arrived.

For 60 years, we have had 22.5% reservation for

the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes.

However, the recommendation

of the mandal commission that...

the other backward castes be given

another 27% reservation, was under a cloud.

Now, the supreme court has cleared that too.

So, now the reservation in higher education

and governmentjobs will be 49.5%.

These caste-based

reservations have caused...

deep satisfaction as well as

severe discontent in the country.

The so-called upper castes

are perturbed by the developments.

This is abhay raichand with

cameraman akhilesh singh.

What do you think will happen?

If they do our work,

we'll have to do what they were doing.

We'll have to leave our studies

and take up shoe-polishing now!

What else can we do?

These are dark days.

And so it shall be that...

the swan will get discarded grain...

while the crow will be fed pearls.

In this democracy,

everyone is meant to have equal rights.

We believe in merit...

not in reservation.

- We're for merit...

against reservation!

Brothers, these are those very people...

who never allowed us

to even sit beside them.

But, now that the supreme court's

decision has arrived...

they're screaming their lungs out that

everyone has equal rights in a democracy.

Don't fall into their trap.

If they had their way, they would

never allow any change whatsoever.

Glory to the supreme court!

Hail, lord mandal!

Time to pack

our bags and leave.

Now these people will rule.

Security...

shut the gate and lock it.

Lock it. Now!

This is the problem with our country.

Everyone has the freedom

to stage his own circus.

They are deliberately

dancing outside our gate.

Disgusting.

What are they doing?

- Close the gates.

- Throw them out.

Immediately send the police to s.t.m.

Thousands of rioters

have gathered here.

Yes... hurry!

What is the need

to call the police, sir?

They will leave now.

Of course, they'll leave.

Either on their own

or by getting kicked out.

You guys don't know

any other language, anyway.

Whoever's gone out

should not come back in.

Sushant, what are you doing?!

Let them back in.

You also go out...

go dance with them.

Have you lost it?

No, i haven't.

In fact, i've finally realised that...

for merit... against reservation!

Hold on.

What's happening? Stop it.

Sushant, have you gone mad?

You shut up!

And get out of here!!

Don't even think about it.

We haven't forgotten how to drive cattle!

You will regret it.

Stop it!

- Stop it!

- For merit... against reservation!

Stop it!

I said, shut up!

- For merit... against reservation!

- Shut up!

Shut up!

Shut up!

It's okay, officer. You may leave.

Thank you very much.

Bring our students in.

Come on in.

Get inside!

Everyone!

Gather at the assembly...

now!

Who called the police?

Who called the police?

The manner in which

a riot was breaking out, i...

we have never needed to

call the police in this college.

And, without my permission

you will never do so again.

The situation was...

never!

Never again!

Am i understood?

Yes... sir.

I will never tolerate

anyone who breaks discipline.

I want the names of all those students

who were at the gate.

You will never do this again!

Today you have brought disrepute

to this institution.

Sushant seth...

deepak kumar.

Your irresponsible conduct

has shamed this college.

Sir, the fault is theirs.

Just a minute.

Listen to me!

Sir, i...

listen... listen to me!

And listen carefully.

This is my last warning to you...

and to those with you.

I will not tolerate this hooliganism!

I won't hesitate to

expel you two from this college.

What is this?

Tickets for yoga classes.

I'm busy.

But, it's an evening show.

Please...

can't you forget what happened?

It's a 1000-year old story, poorbi.

Repeated everyday - a million times!

Even if i want to,

i'm not allowed to forget.

Hey! An email from cornell!

Your paper's been accepted!

You're going to america!

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Don't we even have the

freedom to celebrate openly?

Shame on us!

It's shameful that sushant was let off!

But we won't tolerate it anymore...

no matter who it is.

Shut up!

What are you

crying revolution now for?

The supreme court

has already created history.

No matter how much the

upper castes jump and dance now...

no one can erase the stamp of 27%!

It's sealed now!

They'll know tomorrow morning.

Just watch!

Reservation is our birthright!

Oh god!

Who has done this?

Who has written this?

Who has written this?!

If you have the guts, step forward!

These people will never get it.

They're like cowardly snakes...

strike and scurry back into the burrow.

Something will have to be done

about them.

Whoever has done this,

it's not right.

Chhotu, get me a bucket of water.

Where's the need to erase this,

mr. Deepak kumar?

Just tweak it a little bit.

Instead of 'reservation', write 'charity'.

'Charity is our birthright.'

For 60 years, we've suffered the scheduled
